Ascend to the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere in less than 60 seconds.

At this observation deck in New York City, you’ll be able to see iconic sights, water, the skyline and more. You will also have the chance to learn more about what took place on 9/11 and pay respects to the victims and fearless first responders.

Technically the actual observation deck, by itself, is not the tallest, but because the observation deck is on a tall mountain you will be the highest!

By far one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in America is the Smoky Mountains!

You can have an epic view from 6,643 feet at the Clingmans Dome, the highest peak in the Smokies.

There’s a steep, half-mile path to the 54-foot observation tower, which offers panoramic views of the National Park.

Visit one or visit them all! These six are just the tip of the proverbial observation deck iceberg.

There are many, many more. We challenge you to find an observation deck in every place you visit!

If there isn’t one, you can see which building is tallest and try to go there instead. Seeing a city from above is a great way to get to know it, understand it, and ultimately – explore it! Happy observing!
